To connect the Blogs API in Zapier, configure OAuth 2.0 or an API key with the required scope emails/builder.readonly. Store credentials securely and rotate them on a schedule to maintain access.
In Zapier, add the Blogs API connection by selecting the supported auth method (OAuth or API key), grant the necessary scopes, and test the connection. Use the least-privilege scope required for reading blog data.

Key elements include endpoints, triggers, actions, methods, and fields that enable smooth data flows between Blogs API, GHL, and the Zapier App Connector.
An API is a defined interface that allows applications to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL and operation that provides access to a resource in an API.
A method for delivering real-time data from a source to a destination.
An authorization framework that lets apps access user data securely without sharing passwords.
Automatically post Pavlok alert updates in your GHL CRM when new blog content is published.
Create a daily digest of blog posts and send it to customers using the Emails Builder trigger.
Update lead scores in GHL when new authors publish posts, powered by the integration.
Register your Blogs API credentials in Zapier App Connector and choose the appropriate auth method.
Map blog events to actions in GHL and Zapier, including email and Pavlok notifications.
Run end-to-end tests, verify data flow, and enable in production.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 or an API key. Use the minimum required scopes, such as emails/builder.readonly, to read blog content and metadata. Regularly rotate credentials and keep them stored securely. If you choose OAuth, ensure users grant consent for the necessary permissions. In Zapier, test the connection after saving credentials. If you encounter issues, verify that the token has not expired, confirm the correct credentials are selected, and re-authenticate if needed. Review the endpoint permissions to ensure you’re calling allowed resources and refer to the API docs for endpoint-level requirements.
For Pavlok-related automations, the essential endpoints are those that fetch blog data and publish updates to your marketing or notification channels. Typical candidates include fetching posts, post details, authors, and categories to surface relevant content. Use emails endpoints to push summaries or alerts via the Emails Builder. Always validate endpoint availability in your current plan and ensure the app has read permissions where required. If an endpoint is missing or returns errors, consult the endpoint list in the integration docs, confirm the correct HTTP method, and verify the resource path matches the API version you are using.
Real-time data typically requires webhooks or polling endpoints. The Blogs API offers endpoints for checking slug existence and retrieving author or category data, which can be polled on a schedule or triggered by webhook-enabled events. No-code tools like Zapier can approximate real-time behavior by using short polling intervals and efficient caching to minimize delays. If you need near real-time data, set up a webhook where available or configure frequent polls with appropriate rate limits and error handling in Zapier.
No deep coding is required for this integration. Zapier App Connector provides a no-code interface to define authentication, triggers, actions, and data mapping between Blogs API and GHL. You may need to write a few small JSON templates or field mappings, but complex programming is not necessary. Use built-in steps to test each trigger and action before deployment.
Common scopes include read access for blog content (e.g., emails/builder.readonly) and post or author data. The exact scopes depend on the actions you want to perform (read posts, read authors, check slug existence). Start with the minimal scopes and expand only as your automation requires. Always document which scopes your Zapier app uses.
Yes. All communications occur over HTTPS with token-based authentication. Logs and audit trails can be enabled in Zapier and GHL to track access patterns. Rotate credentials regularly and use least-privilege permissions to minimize risk. If you notice unusual activity, revoke tokens and re-authenticate the connection.
First, check that credentials are valid and not expired. Verify the exact endpoint and HTTP method used in your Zapier workflow. Review rate limits and ensure you’re not hitting throttling. If errors persist, consult the API response for error codes and messages, adjust your mapping, and re-test the flow. If needed, reach out to support with the endpoint and error details.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
